Rosticeria El Pastor in the heart of Zacatecas offers a straightforward but satisfying take on Mexican chicken dishes. This spot functions primarily as a casual restaurant where the focus is on hearty, home-style meals centered around their rostizado (rotisserie) chicken. Its location on Independencia makes it a convenient stop for locals grabbing a filling meal during the day or families looking for familiar flavors without the fuss.

The interior is clean and arranged so tables don’t feel cramped, which makes it comfortable whether you’re dining solo or with a group. The atmosphere leans more functional than atmospheric—think practical seating and a relaxed pace—perfect for a midday lunch or an early evening meal when hunger calls for something straightforward and well-prepared.

Menu highlights like the Enchiladas Verdes, Pollero Ranchero, and the chicken Con Mole give a good picture of what you can expect: classic Mexican home cooking with an emphasis on rich sauces and rotisserie chicken at the center. The option to build your own meal package is practical for groups or those looking to take food home. They also do wings tossed in different sauces, from mango habanero to classic BBQ, appealing to those who like a bit of spice or variety.

Customer experiences point to consistent food quality and good value. While some note that service can feel a bit brisk, the overall impression is of a clean and inviting spot where you can rely on straightforward, tasty Mexican fare. It’s easy to see why regulars keep coming back during their visits to Zacatecas.

If you’re in the mood for a no-frills meal focusing on rotisserie chicken and traditional sides, this is a solid choice. Best time to come is likely around lunch or early dinner when the kitchen is in full swing preparing fresh rostizados and enchiladas. Expect a casual, unpretentious environment that’s more about the food than trendy vibes.
